Question 1

Type: MCSA

A client is admitted to a comprehensive rehabilitation center for continuing care following a motor vehicle crash. The admitting nurse will develop the initial plan of care, but who will be involved with the ongoing planning of this client’s care?

1. The admitting nurse
2. All nurses who work with the client
3. Everybody involved in this client’s care
4. The client and the client’s support system

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: The continuation of the client’s care plan is not the sole responsibility of the admitting nurse.

Rationale 2: Although this is true, there is another option that better answers the item.

Rationale 3: Planning is basically the nurse’s responsibility, but input from the client and support persons is essential if a plan is to be effective. In this case, therapies from other disciplines (occupational, physical, speech, etc.) would be involved because the client is in a comprehensive rehabilitation center. The client’s support people and caregivers are also going to be involved in the plan of care, but not exclusively.

Rationale 4: Although it is important for the client and the client’s support people and caregivers to be involved in the plan of care, there is an option that better answers this item.

Question 2

Type: MCSA

A client is admitted for complications following a routine diagnostic procedure of the colon. Which type of care plan will most likely be implemented for this client?

1. Informal nursing care plan
2. Formal nursing care plan
3. Standardized care plan
4. Individualized care plan

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: An informal nursing care plan is a strategy for action that exists only in the nurse’s mind; this does not meet the needs expressed in the item.

Rationale 2: A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes information about the client’s care; this does not meet the needs expressed in the item.

Rationale 3: A standardized care plan is a formal plan that specifies the nursing care for groups of clients with common needs.

Rationale 4: An individualized care plan is tailored to meet a specific client need that is not addressed by the standardized care plan. In this situation, the client had complications following a relatively routine procedure—something that is unplanned and a rare occurrence.

Question 3

Type: MCSA

A client is scheduled for elective hip replacement and will be admitted postoperatively to the orthopedic unit for care. What should the nurses use to help plan this client’s care?

1. Informal nursing care plan
2. Formal nursing care plan
3. Standardized care plan
4. Individualized care plan

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: An informal nursing care plan is a strategy for action that exists in the nurse’s mind.

Rationale 2: A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes information about the client’s care.

Rationale 3: A standardized care plan is a formal plan that specifies the nursing care for groups of clients with common needs. For example, all clients undergoing hip replacement surgery would have basic, similar needs or problems such as pain, skin integrity disruption, risk for infection, decreased mobility, or risk for fall or injury.

Rationale 4: An individualized care plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of a specific client—needs not addressed by the standardized plan.
